Poker player wins Harley in Gulfstream Challenge

Rob DiGiacomo outlasted a field of 50 competitors to claim the Harley Davidson ~ Sports Legends Challenge at Gulfstream Park Sept. 4.

DiGiacomo claimed a 2009 Harley Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle and more than $13,000 in cash. Runner-up Fred Attias received $6,500, and Khampetch Seignarack got.$3,900 for third.

Diane Devereaux was the top female finisher, eliminated in eighth place and receiving $1,251.

For the past year, Gulfstream has conducted "poker seasons" and keeps a leaderboard. The top 50 point earners from tournaments over a couple of months then sit down to play for free for big prizes, such as the Harley.

Gulfstream Park will begin its second Annual Mercedes Challenge on Oct. 1.
